The rotors don't need to be replaced anywhere near as often as the pads. If the rotors aren't warped (spoiler: they're not) and they're not worn down (which can be determined by inspection) then don't replace them.
$600 to replace 2 brake pads and sensors is too high. Parts should be under $100 and replacement should be an hour or less. Similarly, his rotor replacement price is way too high.
The appropriate pads depends on your driving style but (for example) you can get OE quality ATE front pads for $60 - https://www.autohausaz.com/pn/D986A
Also, when the brake wear indicator comes on you still have plenty of pad left.
Lastly, this is a relatively easy DIY job in case you are so inclined. If you're looking to save $, doing jobs like this is one of the best ways. And it's fun :)
